I used to go look at e.g. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Fedora/source/SRPMS/p/ and I'd see the full package name including version.

The packages in that tree are the packages that are intended to be *on
the install media*, not in the installer environment. Packages the
installer might install, not packages it's built from. The reason
python-blivet is in the Server and Cloud trees is that the kickstarts
used to define the package sets that goes into those trees have
initial-setup in them, and initial-setup requires anaconda-core, and
anaconda-core requires python-blivet. The reason it's not in Workstation
is that the Workstation kickstart uses gnome-initial-setup instead of
initial-setup, and g-i-s doesn't use anaconda at all.

The version of blivet that's actually present in a given installer
environment is in storage.log. Look for a message like:

INFO blivet: resetting Blivet (version 0.61.4) instance <blivet.Blivet
object at foo>

that's your version. I don't believe the *package* version string can be
found from within the image, but IMBW on that.
